Re: Source: Brandin Cooks frustrated with his role on offense
I don't think it was just this game. If the FO can ever realize Coleman is a better play than Snead in road games, then maybe Cooks has more scoring opportunities than he gets. He didn't score against Carolina, Seattle, SF. SF because it was one of those easier games where you don't need to play your best players to win. But games like at Carolina he could have had more chances if the saints moved down the field better. We can all talk about how mediocre Coleman is all we want but he does play better than Snead on the road. Snead really hurts us in road games.

How about the road games vs Giants and Panthers, two games were Coleman had the chance to make huge grabs on game winning drives and he dropped them in both games. |

Re: Source: Brandin Cooks frustrated with his role on offense
It was early in the season against the giants. But Coleman did get a TD catch that helped us almost win in Carolina. But just look Snead's average in road games compared to home games. Even in tough home matchups he has issues but certainly benefitted this year from being overlooked for Thomas. I mean that TD week 2 was a fluke and he was coming off a volumic start. Now that he's been relegated to number three-four territory, his true colors show. In KC he was targeted on that int by Brees that changed the outlook of that whole game. He's just not big enough to overcome physical defenses on the road. At least Coleman can catch some big passes. If Cooks and Thomas have trouble, very good chance Coleman will step up for them. His mostly bad catches have been when those two are making plays. He helped us when we needed it against Carolina. There are receivers that just require volume and Coleman's one of them. You will see week 15 in Arizona which is not gonna be as easy as y'all think it's gonna be. I don't consider TB to be a tough road game.

He find the gap in coverage, Brees threw it, Snead caught it. Touchdown. Snead has some of the most reliable hands on our team, the only reason Coleman still has a spot is because he is a good blocker. Coleman had an awful preseason, training camp and has dropped several big passes this year. |
